𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄 & 𝐓𝐄𝐀 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄

🥮 Snowskin Mooncake
🍵Jasmine-scented Green Tea

With a full body, robust fragrance, and floral sweetness of jasmine flowers, this tea is easy to drink and pairs well with snowskin mooncakes that have intensely sweet fillings.

———————————————————

🥮 Salted Egg Yolk Lava Mooncake
🍵 Oriental Beauty Oolong

The slightly fermented aroma and smooth aftertaste of our Oriental Beauty are great for cutting through the richness of Hong Kong-style salted egg yolk lava mooncakes or any cakes with a creamy custard filling.

———————————————————

🥮 Mix Nuts & Ham Mooncake
🍵 Ban Lien Black Shan Tea

Black tea is an ideal option to serve with mixed nuts & ham baked mooncakes (bánh thập cẩm). Hints of spice, as well as the smooth, clean aftertaste, help maintain the balance against the sweet and savory elements in the mooncakes.

———————————————————

🥮 Traditional Baked Lotus / Bean Paste Mooncake
🍵 Dragon’s Tail White Tea

Our Dragon’s Tail carries such complex floral notes, subtly sweet, great mouthfeel, but a tingling fruity aftertaste at the back of your throat. Compared to traditional green and black teas, it delivers a lighter taste that mellows out the excessive sweetness from baked lotus and red beans paste mooncakes. Experimental drinkers can try a cold brew of this tea; it's very interesting and refreshing.

🥥☕️🌴 VIETNAMESE COCONUT COFFEE 🥥☕️🌴
The weather is getting warmer so we decided to revisit our coconut coffee recipe we put together back in 2020. This time we made a few adjustments on the slushy ingredient ratios, the chilled shaken espresso, and more.
One last tip: we recommend using Robusta or Robusta blends, medium to dark roasting level. The full body and strong flavors will help cut through the creamy sweet milk.

There are plenty versions of how to make coconut coffee out there but we hope you enjoy trying ours.

These women are someone’s mothers, sisters, and daughters. Thanks to generations of the H’mông, Dao, Tày (and many more) tea pickers in the Northwest Vietnam, we are able to fill our days with pleasing cups of tea. Waking up before dawn when there’s still dew on leaves; trekking miles after miles into the rugged deep mountain forests, sometimes with babies on their backs is their daily grind. We don’t want to romanticize the life of a tea picker; we see the bright smiles but we also see age catches up to them, leaving marks on their faces. To many tea pickers and farmers, this profession is a mean of surviving and supporting their loved ones so getting to rest is a luxury.

What a wonderful, eventful weekend in Brooklyn! 🤩 We’re eternally grateful for the opportunity to showcase Vietnamese coffee & tea at … and most importantly, to share a slice of our culture to everyone who braved the cold and celebrated our mutual love for coffee, tea and innovative F&B products. Many thanks to and Starfish Junction team for reaching out and providing us the exhibitors with timely supports regardless of how small the matters might be.
